Hello! So nice to hear their are other Tigers out there out of control...
I say it's the age. We were at the Blue/Gold Dinner and one dad said it perfect, they are still in Spongebob Mode...The other groups so well behaved and the Tigers well they just couldn't sit still. I assume that's why they seated us in the back of the banquet hall.
I find the parents are very helpful. We keep them involved and if one child is a little noisier the parent can help out so there is more order in the meeting.
Of course, they can't wait for snack time!
Anyway, patience is the key.
